A changed Norway

'If one man can cause so much evil, just think how much love we can create together'. This quote from a young member of the Labour Party circled the globe in the days after the mass killings and terror of the 22 July 2011, and set the tone for the reaction by the Norwegian society. The warmth and sense of community were similar to what old people remember from the spring of peace in 1945. But autumn is fast approaching in Norway - with an election campaign, soul-searching and difficult weighing of pros and cons.
